This volume contains the proceedings of two AMS Special Sessions on
The Mathematics of Decisions, Elections, and Games, held January 4,
2012, in Boston, MA, USA and January 11-12, 2013, in San Diego, CA,
USA. Decision theory, voting theory, and game theory are three
intertwined areas of mathematics that involve making optimal
decisions under different contexts. Although these areas include
their own mathematical results, much of the recent research in
these areas involves developing and applying new perspectives from
their intersection with other branches of mathematics, such as
algebra, representation theory, combinatorics, convex geometry,
dynamical systems, etc. The papers in this volume highlight and
exploit the mathematical structure of decisions, elections, and
games to model and to analyze problems from the social sciences.
